The duo bonded over something else too. Abby said: "Meghan and I bonded because I was married and she was getting married. I was invited to her wedding but I couldn’t go. Then we both went through divorce, so we bonded on that too.

“Meghan isn’t one of these people that dwells on…I was destroyed, but she was empowered. She took her power back. It wasn’t the right relationship for her, so she moved on.”

Meghan’s days of acting in small films are long gone, and she is now focusing on her May wedding.

Some are wondering if she will become British after she weds Prince Harry, or if she will keep dual citizenship.

Royal expert Kelly Lynch and managing editor of Daily Break told Express.co.uk: “I do believe that Meghan will be entitled to retain her US passport and apply for dual citizenship.”

Harry’s communications secretary has spoken about Meghan’s immigration status, and said she would be "compliant with immigration requirements at all times”.

He continued: “I can also say she intends to become a UK citizen and will go through the process of that, which some of you may know takes a number of years.”

Meghan could hold to her US nationality if she wished with dual citizenship.

The 36-year-old forged a successful career in the States, and was raised in Hollywood by her American parents. She may therefore feel the desire to hang on to her American roots.

If Meghan holds on to her American citizenship her children will be entitled to dual citizenship - a first for the UK monarchy.
